Available anywhere, on any device

Here are the flavors Dynamics 365 for Sales is available in:

The Sales module in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement is the full-featured, desktop-optimized module for sales scenarios.

The Sales Pro app is similar to the Sales module, but the entities included in the Sales Pro app are a subset of the entities included in the Sales module in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement.

The Sales Hub app is built on the Unified Interface framework. The Unified Interface framework uses responsive web design principles to provide an optimal viewing and interaction experience for any screen size, device, or orientation. With Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps version 9.0.2, the Sales Hub app is optimized to work on mobile devices as well as desktops.

If you're using a desktop browser, you'll see the Sales Hub app in the app switcher as shown in the following image.

If you're using a mobile device with Dynamics 365 for phones and tablets installed, you'll see the Sales Hub in the app switcher as shown in the following image.

What Dynamics 365 for Sales offers

Dynamics 365 for Sales offers great benefits, whether you're using a desktop, phone, or tablet.

Benefits for sales people

Follow guided business processes, so you know which steps to take next to close deals faster. You can tailor these business processes for your organization's needs.

Manage customers and deals wherever you are, on any device (phone, tablet, PC, or Mac).

Get productive faster by using familiar tools. Dynamics 365 for Sales is tightly integrated with Office 365 apps, which makes it easier to get going more quickly:

Use SharePoint to store and view documents like presentations or notes in the context of a record, such as an opportunity, so anyone working on the opportunity can view them.

Open sales data in Excel, make changes, and save the changes back to Dynamics 365 for Sales—all without switching between applications.

Get actionable insights and suggestions based on how you work. For example, if you have an opportunity closing next week, the Relationship Assistant will send you a reminder to connect with your customer.

Find all activities (appointments, phone calls, and so on) related to a customer or opportunity in one central place, so you have the context you need to do your job.

Benefits for sales managers

Accelerate your team's performance by using real-time analytics based on historical data and predictive information.

Monitor results, and provide feedback and coaching, in real time.

Use immersive Excel and prebuilt templates to do quick analysis without leaving Dynamics 365 for Sales.
